What is Bape?

Bape also known as A Bathing Ape is a Japanese clothing brand founded by Nigo (real name Tomoaki Nagao) in 1993. Bape produces T-shirts, polos, sweatshirts, hoodies, parkas, underwear, jackets, denim, shoes (BapeSTA) and more. Bape gain much popularity because of its unique design and popular celebrities/rappers notably Pharrel started wearing the brand.

Bape has now expanded and also operates Bape Cuts hair salon, Bape Café and gallery, Bape Sounds records and more.

Bape only produce and release limited design and quantity for a certain amount of time. Also, only a few stores exist around the world and most of them are located in Japan! Due to brand rarity and high demands typical Bape products are in the mid-high $xxx and sometimes even in the $xxxx range.

Is my Bape AUTHENTIC?

Bape Shoes (BapeSTA, RoadSTA etc.)
- Bape shoes should have insoles with Bape logo and when you compare the logo on both shoes the logo must be facing the opposite direction.
- Real embroidery. Check the back of the shoes for the "Bape" logo embroidery.
- Too cheap! Authentic Bape shoes retail around $200+ USD (it can be cheaper sometimes) but if it's less than $100 then it's fake!

Bape Hoodies (Sharks, Tigers, Baby Milo etc.)
- Stitching around the Bape tag should be clean.
- Bape hoodies retail around $150-$350 (it can be more expensive sometimes), anything less is most likely fake.
- Anything over XL size is pretty rare to non-existant.

This are probably the most common way of telling if someones Bape is fake or not. I already listed legit and authentic eBay Bape sellers above so you shouldn't worry about your Bapes being fake :)
